In the dramatic escalation of the most heated AI competition in the Silicon Valley, Elon Musk has just announced that he is running $ 97.4 billion for the purchase of non -profit arm. According to The Wall Street Journal. The offer was reportedly delivered to the board on Monday morning.
The offer combines a powerful coalition of supporters, including its own company AI XAI and Venture Heavyweights, such as Valor Equity Partners, Hollywood Mogul Ari Emanuel and co -founder of Palantir Joe Lonsdale Venture company 8VC.
“It is time for OpenAI to return to the strength -oriented strength, oriented to safety per day,” said Musk in a statement presented by his lawyer Marc Toberoff The Wall Street Journal. “We’ll make sure that will happen.”
The offer also adds a significant layer of complexity of the planned OPENAI conversion to profit, because the Musk team promised to match or exceed higher offers. This creates a thorny situation for Altman, which already raises negotiations with Microsoft and other interested parties in the field of justice in the planned structure focused on profit.
Shortly after the announcement of the message, Altman published on X: “Thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you want.”
Opeli pointed to Altman’s post when he asked for a comment. Toberoff did not answer immediately at the request for comment.
